Summary:Someone stole a grain bin from a cantankerous farmer in rural Alberta, and Valerie Stevens is on the case. Finding it should be an easy task for the police, too bad the thief has been dead for nearly one hundred years.
She's a senior civil servant for Government Services and Infrastructure Canada, though her name won't be found on any government ledger. The Prime Minister will deny any knowledge of her existence, even though he's in the habit of calling her apartment on a hot line to get the scores of last night's hockey game from her boyfriend.
She's been accused of sorcery, and she prefers to be known as an alchemist. Her connection to the unseen world is the ghost of a long-dead Canadian Prime Minister, and that grain bin? Well, it just fell out of a hole in reality, crash landing on a busy Calgary intersection at rush-hour.
What's a grain bin got to do with an undead presence . The only ones with answers are a group of corrupt cops who moonlight as vampires, an ogre names Dennis, and of course, a werewolf with a low self-esteem. It's all in a day's work for Valerie Stevens as she tries to save city from a baneful and simmering evil that's about to be unleashedChapters: |

The young man mocked in this story brought it on himself. I blame his parents. Chapters: |
